章節 46: Pheromones

Esme absorbed every word Finnian shared concerning the demon shifter to her, and a chilling realization began to take shape in her head.

Finnian was depicted as the hero today – deliberately so – while the demon shifter remained an embodiment of evil in the eyes of everyone.

It was a straight-up reminder that he had always been the enemy. But now, she was left grappling with the twist she never saw coming behind his deed.
